"Wait till you see it, Katara. The air temple is one of the most beautiful places in the world." Aang explained as he put stuff on Appa.

It was morning, too early if you ask me.

"Aang, I know you're excited but it's been a hundred years since you and Gyawa have been home." Katara replied as I walked on Appa.

"That's why I'm so excited." Aang responded with boyish innocence.

"Katara's right. A lot can change..." I said looking down at the grass.

"I know. But don't you think we need to see it for ourselves?" Aang asked me and I couldn't argue.

"Wake up, Sokka. Air temple here we come!" He said to sleeping Sokka.

"Uhh, his snoring kept me up all night." I sighed rolling over on Appa.

"Sleep now. Temple later." Sokka murmured half asleep. Aang saw a stick and knew what he had to do. He grabbed the stick and slid it gently through Sokka's sleeping bag. "Sokka, wake up! There's a spiral snake in your sleeping bag!"

"Argh! Get it off! Get it off!" Sokka shouted as he did all the wrong things and ran around. Me and Katara just had to laugh.

"Great! Your awake. Let's go!"

                                 ~*~

"Hey stomach be quiet. Alright? I'm trying to find us some food." Sokka said to his growling stomach. The Water Tribe boy looked through his bag only to find it was empty.

"Hey, who ate all my blubber seal jerky?"

"Oh that was food? I used it to start the camp fire last night. Sorry." Aang replied making Sokka lay on the saddle in hunger.

"You what?! Aw I wondered why the flames smelt so good."

"Look at all the mountain range we're almost there!" Aang almost shouted throwing my concentration on Zuko off.

"Hey look we are here." I remarked as I saw all the grassy mountain peeks. Some who I knew, a memory I never really experienced.

"Guys, before we go to the temple, I want to talk to you about the Airbenders." Katara said.

"What about em?" Aang quickly asked back. Puppy eyes, making sweet Katara back down.

"Well, I just want you to be prepared for what you two might see. The Fire Nation is ruthless, they killed my mother. They could have done the same to your people."

"Just because no one has seen an Air Bender doesn't mean the Fire Nation killed them all. They probably escaped. Right?" Aang said looking back at me, I couldn't give him the confident face he was looking for. Which made him question his own words.

"But the only way to get to an Air Bender temple is in a flying bison. And I doubt the Fire Nation has any flying bison. Right Appa?"

We flew a little while longer before seeing the temple not too far ahead. "There it is, the southern air temple."

"Aang, its amazing." Katara expressed.

"We're home buddy, we're home."

But 'our' home was no longer welcoming.

"So where do I get something to eat?" Sokka asked as we walked threw the stair way up to the temple.

"You're lucky enough to be one of the first outsiders to ever visit an Air Bender temple and all you can think about is food?" Katara asked like she was more insulted than Aang.

"I'm just a simple guy with simple needs." Sokka replied, as we kept walking I could see that it was nothing like what it was before. It was silent and empty.

"So that's where my friends and I would play air ball, and over there is where the bison would sleep and..." Aang sighed after trying to show them what we used to do. I just sat on the floor, I hated remembering something I hadn't actually done.

"What's wrong?" Katara asked us both.

"This place used to be full of monks, and lemurs, and bison. Now there's just a bunch of leaves." Aang said looking at me, I was just looking at the sky. I didn't really want to see the rest.

"I can't believe how much things have changed." Aang exhausted as I sighed one more time. 

"So uh, this air ball game how do you play?" Sokka asked trying to cheer us up.

                                 ~*~

I wasn't paying any attention to Aang and Sokka's game. I still sat on the cliff, the face of a Nun kept coming to mind, She was my teacher. A woman I never met, so friendly and wise. I felt a motherly love for her, but I never even saw her before. What was this? Why?

I reopened my eyes to see Aang talking to Katara and Sokka over the hidden helmet.

"Come on, Gyawa." Aang said as he walked up to me.

"Hey guys I want you to meet somebody." Aang said walking up to the statue of Monk Gyatso.

"Who is that?" Sokka asked.

"Monk Gyatso. The greatest Air Bender in the world. He taught me everything I know." Aang said bowing to the statue.

"Did you know him, Gyawa?" Sokka asked.

"Yeah." I replied standing back up.

                    ~Flash Back~

I remembered the first time I met Monk Gyatso. I had just been announced as the Avatar and I was to be trained by a master Air Bender. My old teach, the Nun Yongten, who raised me was to be more of an instructor.

"Are you alright, Gyawa? You haven't said a word?" She asked me as we flew on my bison, Wandak.

"I was just thinking about what the Nuns told me," I sighed, "about Sozin. What am I going to do?" I asked, as I sat on Wandak's head.

"Right now, young Avatar, you must master the four elements. Then you can worry about the troubles of the world. If you don't, then when you face these conflicts you won't be ready." Nun Yongten replied, with her words of wisdom.

"But what if the trouble comes to me?" I asked back.

"Do you ever listen? That's why we're taking you to Monk Gyatso. He will teach you the last steps of Airbending."

"But I already mastered it." I moaned, I had just turned sixteen but once I got my tattoo I felt like a woman.

"You still need to patch up."

When we got down all the Monks were there to greet us. "Avatar Gyawa, it is my honor to welcome you to the Southern Air Temple." The main one said to me.

"Thank you." I quickly replied.

"I am monk Gyatso. I will be your guide for this lesson." He said with an old voice.

"Hi I'm Aang." A small bald, twelve-year-old boy said, waving at me with a huge smile.

"I'm Gyawa." I replied, I had to look down to see him.

"You're the Avatar aren't you?" He replied but the Monks ignored him and started to walk with me.

"Troubling news has reached our ears, it's vital that you learn the elements as soon as possible." The head monk told me.

"Which is why I don't understand why I have to completely master Airbending. Can't I just move on to Waterbending?" I asked putting my hands on my hips. I didn't really look like an Airbender, my sleeves were rolled up and one side of my hair was shaved when I got my tattoos.

"You must learn patience, Avatar."

"She will, once she's seen the fun side of the Southern Air Temple." Monk Gyatso said.

"Fun? You forget she's sixteen." The head monk scoffed.

"She is still a teenager." Yongten added.

The head Monk sighed, "Do as you will." Shaking his head.

"Monk Gyatso and I promise. You're gonna have fun here." Aang said with a huge smile and birds all around him, flying and resting. Looking like a Disney cartoon. Get with it Aang! This is Anime!

"Sure Aang, first you need to get your bison away from mine." I laughed as I saw Wandak growling at Appa, who was completely scared.

Me and Aang started laughing while Yongten and Monk Gyasto followed.

"Gyawa, I hope it will interest you that in a few months you will go to the Sanctuary. Inside you will find someone who will guide you through your journey." Gyatso said.

"Sounds really evasive. Who is it?" I asked like I wanted to know so much more. So excited.

"When you are ready, he will reveal himself to you."

I sighed to the Monk's answer and folded my arms.

"Now let's stop these giant bison from fighting." Monk Gyatso smiled.

                   ~End of Flash Back~

"You must miss him." Katara said putting hands on our shoulders.

"Yeah." Aang replied.

"Hey, Where are you going?" Sokka asked as I started walking in the temple.

"The Sanctuary, there's someone I'm ready to have a chat with."

"Come on Gyawa, no one could survive in there for hundred years." Sokka remarked pointing at the door.

"I don't think it's a person. The Nuns told me I would speak with my past lives one day. Whoever's in there might help me figure out what to do with the war." I replied staring at the huge door.

"And whoever's in there might have a selection of delicious cured meats." Sokka said with his mouth drooling, he ran up to the door and pushed it as hard as he could, but it did nothing.

"Ha ha, you gotta air bend the door." I replied still laughing.

I took a deep breath before making a powerful Airblast and hit it at the door. It made a horn noise with the Air and after all the mechanisms were opened, the door opened no problem.

"Hello, anyone home?" Aang asked into the endless sanctuary.

"Statues, that's it? Where's the meat?" Disappointed Sokka asked looking at all the statues of the Avatars.

"Who are all these people?" Katara asked.

"The Avatars. It feels like I know them. See that ones a Waterbender, than an Earthbender, than Fire, than Air." I said pointing at the different statues. I walked over to the last statue, the Firebender, Avatar Roku. I felt zoomed in, Iike I was about to go somewhere.

"Gyawa, snap out of it." Aang said shaking me, I shook my head before looking back at Aang.

"Hey! I could have just connected there!" I poured.

"Who is that?" Aang asked looking at it.

"That's Avatar Roku. The Avatar before me."

"You were a Firebender? How wonder I didn't trust you when we first met." Sokka said with a grin.

"There's no writing, how do you know his name?" Katara asked.

"I don't know really. I just know." I replied and Sokka sighed.

"You just wouldn't get any weirder." Sokka remarked before we heard a sound coming from the door. We immediately hid behind the statues, Sokka literally sat on my lap.

"Hey." I whispered.

"Firebender. Nobody make a sound." Sokka ordered in his loud whisper.

"You're making a sound." Katara replied to all of us shhing her.

"That Firebender won't know what hit him." Sokka said as he pulled out his boomerang. He stopped in his tracks when he saw it was a lemur.

Me and Aang both picked our heads out to look.

"Lemur!"

"Cute!"

"Dinner!"

Aang, I, and Sokka all said after the other, only Sokka was drooling.

"Don't listen to him, you're gonna be mine." I said as I was about to walk up.

"Not if I get him first!" Sokka shouted as he ran up to him, he squealed and ran away as fast as he could.

"Come back!" I yelled as Aang, I, and Sokka all ran after him.

"I want to eat you!" Sokka shouted.

I used Airbending to jump ahead of Sokka and Aang, Aang laughed before he made a scooter and passed me up.

The lemur spread out his wings and flew down while me and Aang followed him.

"Hey no fair!" I could hear Sokka pout.

We landed on the ground to start running after him again, just when he went in a little house almost on a cliff.

"Hey come back!" Aang called as he chased him.

"Come out little guy. That hungry dude won't eat you." I said as we walked in.

But then we both stopped in our tracks.

We saw bodies and bodies of Fire Nation soldiers, and Monk Gyatso.

"Firebenders, they were here?" Aang asked, but I looked to the side to another Air Nomad body.

Nun Yongten, under a Fire Nation soldier.

I clenched my fists, some much rage started to boiling in me. I didn't even know why, these aren't my real people, yet it felt so real. I wanted to kill every last Firebender on the planet, I wanted to do something.

"Hey, Gyawa, you find my dinner yet?" Sokka asked as he walked in.

I could hear Aang start to cry on his knees as he covered his face in sobs.

"Aang, I wasn't going to really eat the lemur. Okay? Oh man." Sokka said seeing all the bodies.

Then he saw me in the corner, with my fists clenched sitting in front of Nun Yongten's bones.

"Gyawa, everything will be alright. Let's get out of here." Sokka put a hand on my shoulder but what he said enraged me more.

It wasn't going to be alright, how could a people go back to the way they were when they were all dead?

I felt the Avatar State coming to me, and I embraced it. All my rage and my new found hate for the Fire Nation, fueled it. I don't know how long I was up there but I could hear Sokka's voice trying to speak to me.

"Gyawa, I know you're angry at the Fire Nation. I know because that's how I felt when they killed my mother. The Airbenders might be gone, but... but you still might have a family. We.. we're your family now." As Sokka said this I could feel the State lift from me.

I wasn't as angry, his words seemed to calm me down.

"Katara and I aren't going to let anything happen to you. Promise." Sokka smiled as I laid my head on his lap.

"I'm sorry." I said in almost a whisper.

"It's okay. It wasn't your fault." Katara replied.

"But you're right, if Firebenders found this temple, that means they found the other ones too. We really are the last Airbenders." Aang said to us with a tear still in his eye, he reached out to hug the only other Air Nomad in the world. If I really was one.

                                 ~*~

"Everything's packed, you ready to go?" Katara asked as I stared at the statue of Roku.

"How am I supposed to talk to Roku when his long dead?" I asked with my arms folded.

"Maybe you'll find a way." She replied. We both turned to see the Lemur standing there with food in his arms and running to Sokka and giving it to him.

"Looks like you made a new friend, Sokka." Aang commented.

"Can't talk. Must eat." Sokka managed to say threw his eating.

The lemur climbed up to my shoulder and curled on my head. "Hey little buddy." I said as I petted his head.

                                 ~*~

"You, Gyawa, Me and Appa. We're all that's left of this place. We have to stick together." Aang said to us as I leaned on Appa.

"Sokka, Katara, say hello to the newest member our family." I said walking up to them.

The lemur jumped off my shoulder and grabbed a peach Sokka was just about to put in his mouth, and landed back on my shoulder.

"Momo." I replied as everyone of us but Sokka started chuckling.
